Living a creative life, and pursing creativity can be stress-relieving and relaxing.
An outlet in a hectic and sometimes painful world.
But sharing our hearts, thoughts, art, words, makes us vulnerable too.
To create and share, means we have to expose that side of us.

is good, and lovely, and right in the Tanya Derrey Binghamhttps://plus.google.com/106627711225704553157noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3326968333086497669.post-70099239788563258372014-01-18T11:02:00.001-08:002014-01-19T00:40:54.216-08:00Show + Tell Saturday at twelveOeight

I love Saturdays.
A big cup of strong coffee with some milk (and caramel of course.)
It's quiet for a bit, and I can share some of the beautiful things I
spied this week with you.
January is a time of renewal, restoration and sometimes getting back
on the path we desire. Here are a few things that inspired me this week...
I love this sweet dishtowel from Bev at Flamingo Toes.
